He further said that people of the State now have a new enemy called "corruption".

Even though Government officials talk about curbing corruption, their attitude has never changed.

A new campaign "Zero Corruption" needs to be started at the earliest so the new generation can be freed from the evils of corruption.

He assured that PANDM would work incessantly for development and welfare of the State and added that the integrity of the State should not be challenged by any section of the society.

RK Rajendra, retd Lt Col and former member of Manipur Human Rights Commission attended the function as the chief guest, Yumnamcha Dilipkumar, president PANDM as functional president and N Shanta, National Awardee, chairman cum managing director, Manipur Finance and Bussiness Ltd as guest of honour.

Speaking at the function RK Rajendra said that Manipur happens to be a strategic place and so the influx of refugees and foreigners has increased manifold.

To crub the influx of refugees, Manipur need property laws like Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim.

If an effective property law is put in place, no outsider can buy any land in any part of the State.

Such a system can prove to be a succesful mechanism for saving the indigenous populace of Manipur, he said.

He further urged the people of the State to protest against the inactivity of the State Government with regard to the mass movements for saving the indigenous people of Manipur.

He said, the attention of Human Rights Commission should be drawn to this matter.

He further said many foreigners from Myanmar, Bangladesh and other neighbouring States have migrated to Manipur taking advantage of the State Government's leniency.

Moreover, these migrants have been formenting distrust and hatred amongst the indigenous people.

Guest of honour Shanta said, "We need to help one another if we are to overcome the challenging situation unfolding in the State where the survival of indigenous Manipuris is at stake" .

Furthermore he asked if the Government has any plans for the unemployed people.
